[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

The time-limited changes to Public Service Loan Forgiveness ends Monday, but the work doesn’t end there. Here’s how @usedgov will help more borrowers get the relief they have earned.

[Ashley Harrington @ACHesquire]

@MotherRobinson3 Yes, choose MOHELA. And go head and get your PSLF form in because you don’t want to wait. Just know that your form will be held until your consolidation goes through. But that’s ok!

President Biden Should Immediately #CancelStudentDebt Through Executive Action @ACHesquire @DividedWeFall42

This is an essential first step in fixing our broken higher education financing system.

Scene in online eviction court today: Landlord tells the judge,"She applied for the rent relief program. I haven't given the program the information they asked for.I don't want their money. Even if I got the money, I'd give it back." Judge granted landlord's request to evict her.

.@ACHesquire: 36% federal interest rate limit is the most effective way to #StopTheDebtTrap

"Evidence from the real world is clear: the only access this predatory lending provides is access to debt. It is wealth stripping that fuels financial exclusion, not financial inclusion."

“President Biden absolutely has the authority to #CancelStudentDebt,” says CRL's @ACHesquire, "This is the same authority that was used by the Trump administration last year to waive interest and pause payments" @AbigailJHess @CNBCMakeIt https://t.co/KKTLUSrJdG

[D Douglas-Gabriel @DaniDougPost]

This is not a piece to debate the merits of debt cancellation, just a space for borrowers to share their truths. I saw myself, my parents, my cousins and so many others in these stories. I hope folks will read this with compassion.

[Derrick Johnson @DerrickNAACP]

Thank you Sen. @ewarren! #CancelStudentDebt

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Thank you, @SecCardona, for meeting with @SenSchumer, @DerrickNAACP and me to talk about executive action to #CancelStudentDebt. I appreciate that you're taking a look. Our student borrowers – especially first-generation borrowers and borrowers of color – need you.

[Axios @axios]

Biden has asked Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to compile a memo on the president's legal authorities to forgive student loan debt, including a cancellation up to $50,000, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said at a POLITICO Playbook event today.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

NEW: Philadelphia just passed a resolution calling on the federal government to "enact a plan by the end of President Biden's first 100 days" to "cancel all student loan debt."

A stark message to Biden from the city that delivered his electoral victory.

[Ashley Harrington @ACHesquire]
